Personally, I find it’s better to do multiple variations of compound exercises to emphasize different body parts vs doing isolation. Like doing multiple variations of push ups, wide grip for chest emphasis and diamond and sphinx for triceps emphasis.

Yeah, the more you use isolations, the better shape you will eventually be in

But evil is saying that compounds are the way to go in the beginning. If your only goal is getting fit and healthy then compounds are better. If you’re going to compete as a professional bodybuilder then you need isolations more.

You can do bicep pullups

Say pull ups for example. They work the back biceps and a bit of shoulder, if you only do pullups for lats and the biceps than you wont have enough biceps compared to lats, that is why I like isolation

I’d say compounds would be better for a beginner who’s trying to lose weight though, otherwise, I’d mainly use isolation and superset muscle groups

Compounds exercise the musclegroups in sync so all the muscles get equally strong after the weak links catch up

Nooo, isolations help develop each muscles more. Compound excercises hold back certain muscles because of weak links

I hate isolation exercises.It feels like i haven’t worked out at all.
